Thailand seems to start a revolution every few months. The protesters this time around support the former Prime Minister, who was tossed out in a coup during the LAST set of protests. Really awful.

...Matt Yglesias summarizes the situation here. The former Prime Minister, Thaksin Shinawatra, was a deposed populist now trying to lead a popular movement back into power. This is the culmination of at least three other popular movements, and speaks to the ineffability of democracy in a country which has a coup attempt every hour on the hour.
